I'm so pissed at my fellow 18-24 year old's

[MattNC]

I just don't understand it. I don't think my generation is ever going to get off its ass.

[high density]

1. I know

I hoped we were going to kick the fundie ass, but I guess that didn't happen.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

2. Thank god I'm 25!

[Walt Starr]

3. If Bush wins, they're fighting his fucking war

They will pay for their apathy.

[cali]

4. Well, I'm proud of you

You got out there and did your best, so did my 18 year old son, and a lot of his twenty something friends who had never voted. Don't give up yet on your peers.

[sir_arms_50]

5. the ones who don't vote will get off their ass

when they get called up in a draft!

[Daocrat]

6. AGREED

HUGE disappointment. HUGE letdown. I am NOT a freeper, honestly!!! However, and as much as it really does disgust me to do so, I think I am going to have to agree with Falafel O'Reilly on this one. It seems that 18-24 year-olds couldn't get away from the bong long enough to vote.

[DulceDecorum]

14. They showed up

late as usual,
but they did show up.

Some of them had to go back home to change their clothing,
seeing as how your are not allowed to wear your heart on your sleeve,
or chest for that matter,
but they WERE there
and they were there only because they want to evict clear the Bush from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[MirrorAshes]

7. Don't give up hope. I had a class tonight in FL where everyone voted.

every single person in the class, almost all 18-30.

[Oreo]

8. I'm sorry... why do we believe this?

I saw LOTS of 18-24 at the polls. Lots of them doing election day registration.

[BruceWane]

9. Yeah, WTF is it with these people....

.....it's so F**KING cool to be all anti-establishment, rebellious, pierced and tatooed, but you can't be bothered to ACTUALLY MAKE A F**KING DIFFERENCE??!!!?!?!

[AgadorSparticus]

10. nope. don't buy it for one second. too many accounts of them involved.

and from too many places.

[BruceWane]

11. Because media is reporting virtually identical

turnout in 18-29 y.o. as 2000.

[kitkatrose]

12. Are you talking from first hand experience

or are you listening to the exit polls. Gobs of people at my campus voted and there's 11,000 of us. And that's just one school in DC.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

16. The absentee youth vote may not have been counted yet...

This could be huge since lots of people this age range are in college or in the military. I know I did absentee in FL. I've heard they haven't counted the absentee yet. They are not exit polls for absentee either.

[Scoopie]

13. My son is just 5

and a 8:15, when Tennessee was called "red," he BEGGED me to move to a "blue" state.
I told him that I'd have to sell the house, he wouldn't have Grandma to pick him up from school - he said, "Well, it's better than livin' with a bunch of stupids." (He's 5 - his vocabulary is understandable - his cognative reasoning, however, is above the president's).
So... does anyone in a blue state need a journalist?
If I move, it will be to take up my former profession.

[Was_Immer]

15. youre all slakcers and dont deserve to vote

Have fun in iraq!

edit: speaking to you 18-24 year olds, not anyone on here

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

17. That's not very nice! Don't stereotype.

[milburn]

18. I am 12

I am 12 and I cant vote now. The kids I know like Kerry because he is cute and is funny and Bush started war and wants oil and we hate him.

[Daocrat]

19. Well, I was at the polls this morning

Lines were big, and I did look around. I'm not a perfect judge of age, but to be honest, I think 17% would be a very generous estimate of how many 18-24 year olds I saw.

I think that young people like to talk a good game, post a good game, and register a good game, but based on these results and my own personal observations, it's not clear that they actually VOTE a good game.

[TheDonkey]

20. I'm not surprised sadly...

I know a lot of young people who were energized and excited but didn't vote, didn't think about absentees, or still didn't give a crap.

*sigh*

[DireStrike]

21. I Don't believe it.

If the final numbers show this shit, we'll know something is seriously wrong.

[Senator Lamb]

22. i thought this was the year

that the youth would come out huge. and again they disapoint. as a 18 year old who couldnt wait to vote, i say these people deserve what they fucking get. i hope they get it bad.
